This is a special pilaf in Osh city of Kyrgyzstan (Central Asia). And this is not my own recipe, a very kind blog friend of mine, Jyldyz Chynybekova sent it to me. In fact, she is so kind that she sent a file of Kyrgyzstan recipes with pictures. I’m always very curious about different Asian…

Pilaf is the main side dish in Turkish cuisine. We serve it with meat dishes, chicken dishes, stews. Even some people eat it as a main dish. Sometimes they prefer various kinds of rice pilaf, sometimes bulgur(pounded wheat) pilaf, but mostley they have one kind of pilaf on their tables.

My husband and I craved for Turkish rice pudding last night. That is called “Sutlac” in Turkish. Luckily we had all ingredients, so baked it. But we didn’t eat until today as we had to wait until they get cold enough. If you try this recipe, I’m sure this will be your favorite dairy dessert.
